Wiley: Why Ed Sheeran and Drake are 'culture vultures'
for All to hear on BBC 1Xtra today in the morning, in the Wiley -v-the-world saga.
The grime godfather has spent The Last few morning tweets about Drake and Ed Sheeran , called both "culture vultures".
Yes, it's That time of the year - the Album is again-time.
To get help Wiley are some of the things from his chest and also a challenge to his opinion - 1Xtra Breakfast Show host Dotty.
"I'm mad at Ed Sheeran , because he said, 'You don't need me, man, I need You ,'" Wiley said Dotty, in of he a Ed, most successful songs.
"But Ed, The Other day mate, You had to use dirt, tip the song over The Edge . "
He speaks of The Remix to Take Me Back to London - which was produced by grime producer and DJ Sir Spyro , featured Stormzy, Jaykae and Aitch - and got to Number One .
Wiley said Dotty, Ed Sheeran , You should not use mud in his music, because "we are not allowed to use them or everything they do" - to demand That The Relationship between Ed and grime musicians is not mutually beneficial.
Wiley was awarded an MBE for his services to musicThe MC is no fan of Ed is very clear Now - and said That he would not listen to his music again, But they have worked together on a song.
Wiley to see on Ed Sheeran 's No. 5 Collaborations EP, released in 2011, before Ed was a mainstream artist and featured grime artist of each individual song.
And he says this is partly where the problem with the Ed comes.
He claims That when it was time for Ed to repay the favour and feature on Wiley 's own Album , the multi-platinum-selling artist want.
"Listen, we have helped the guy into the picture. I have done something for Him - 'You '. It is on his Album , isn't it? So, when I went to my One , I was told, 'You Can 't do That , Ed Can the video. You Can not use Ed', basically.
"He didn't want to stand up to his label - he folded.
"I didn't know life was fair, But I didn't know it was That unfair.
"Everyone thinks I'm crazy. I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy - Ed Sheeran knows what I'm talking about. "
He added: "If Ed wants to Do Something , That is OK. But if we want something with Ed? We Can 't do it. "
Wiley with Dizzee Rascal in the year 2002, as the dirt didn't even have a nameasserts The MC - One of the people who developed and popularized the grime sound in the early 2000S -said Ed relationship with the grime scene is "fake as hell", That "nobody" uses of Ed Sheeran 's fortune was to help the dirt to prove it.
And he is not Finished yet.
"listen, Ed Sheeran - they are interested in culture and I'm not hear them. I have listened to You rip off Marvin Gaye , I rip off listening to everything. I see You do a tune The Other day with Justin Bieber , which sounds like a tune by Sting. No One is not nothing to say That , though. So I'm not listening. I'm done with these people. I swear to God. "
"He is only a pagan'Wiley was not ready yet, he instead turned his attention to Drake .
"J Hus came out of the prison on the right. My husband brought Him out On Stage . This looks good, doesn't he. This looks cool. This looks good-init. It looks nang - my husband brought J Hus !"
Dotty, who was at The Show in London 's O2 when Drake , she thought it was an "amazing" moment, and wondered what was Wiley 's problem.
he said He saw no positive of Drake brings out the people, "As If he is Jesus Christ the Savior" during his seven sold-out nights at The O2 .
"He is not embracing The Scene , he does it for himself.
"Mandem from the hood, to places and to try to engage with people from the hood.
"If You 're a good yout and You grew up in The Suburbs , and all of a sudden become a rapper. You know, what do You do? You gravitate to where You came from never - That 's what. "
'will It go down in radio history"1Xtra Breakfast Show host Dotty your thoughts.
If You rant on your socials, there is no One there to pull You up on things, or question You . So it was really interesting to Wiley point of view, calling Him on some of these views.
Wiley is a pioneer of The Scene , and That 's why he holds very close to his heart. The grime scene Wiley is like to be a child, and I think That it is difficult for Wiley , his child will grow and go out into The World .
I could not get a word in edgeways, so I just let Him go with Him , asks Him where he needed to be challenged.
" My relationship with Wiley is 10 years. I think this is the only reason why I was able to talk to Him because I've known Him for so long and I have a personal relationship with Him .
My food is That Wiley is rare in this business -That he speaks, it is a very, very long time, and he's still a spirit.
Whether You believe what he says or don't agree with what he says, it is very refreshing to not have someone who is afraid to go on national television and radio You what they really think to say.
Drake is the executive producer of season three of Top Boy, on Friday in the UKThe MC is also a Problem with the Canadian rapper's involvement with Top-Boy - The Cult UK TV show, was cancelled by Channel 4 , and.
"So we need Canadians and Americans to help us, because we don't want to do it yourself Can ? Cool. But my genre is, produces more than 12 or 13 millionaires.
"Wiley , Stormzy, Dizzee Rascal - You know, how many millionaires in London ?"
So, why don't You bring back, Top Boy, ask Dotty? Wiley says he was never asked.
"The Truth is That he knows only a pagan, and he it. And when I say it, he Can 't say anything to me, and That is The Truth . "
Wiley is a whole lot more,
